PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS

FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS

There are times when the reliability of your equipment is crucial!When conditions are tough, crew and equipment are really put to the test. The main engine oil cooler and central freshwater cooler simply have to work. There is no room for compromise when the sea is rough and the harbour far away.

Thats why Tranter offers you the very best. Reliable, compact, and efficient plate heat exchangers that are easy to service and maintain. So, it's no wonder they can be found on board countless vessels all around the world from luxury yachts to huge container vessels, supertankers and offshore rigs.

Tranter offers an extensive range of gasketed plate heat ex-changers specially designed for marine applications. This, combined with our extensive experience and solid technical expertise within marine and industrial applications, makes us a reliable partner.

For many decades our plate heat exchangers have proved to be the perfect solution for various closed-circuit cooling systems at sea. They are also frequently found in other applications on board, such as tap-water production systems and HVAC systems.

No unnecessary ballastWhy fill up your engine room with heavy, bulky equipment, when efficiency and economy are vital factors?

A plate heat exchanger from Tranter is only about 1/3 of the size and 1/6 of the weight of a shell-&-tube exchanger of comparable performance. Even if it seems more reasonable to invest in a tube exchanger, this would have a much higher life cycle cost than a plate heat exchanger.

One reason is that the heat transfer properties of a plate heat exchanger are 3 to 5 times higher. Another is the close tempe-rature approach which is as low as 1K. Efficiency pays off!

A plate heat exchanger offers many advantages compared with conventional shell-and-tube exchangers Up to 50% more efficient

Up to 90% more compact

3-5 times higher k-values

Unique turbulent flow design Closer temperature approach as low as 1K

Far less material less use of exotic alloys or titanium

Keep cool for smooth and reliable operationCentral cooling systemsA central cooling system consists of central coolers that use sea water to cool a secondary circuit with fresh water. This circuit passes through a battery of other coolers, such as lubrication oil cooler, jacket water cooler, turbo-charging air cooler etc.

Using fresh water in the secondary circuit, minimizes corro-sion, scaling and redundancy in machines and equipment and ensures smooth operation. At the same time the cost for repair and replacement will be kept to a minimum.

6Our experts will guide you to the right solutionTranter is a global supplier of plate heat exchangers. We have extensive experience of heat transfer solutions for marine, off-shore, HVAC and industrial applications around the world. Our mission is to help you achieve the optimum solution with re-gard to performance efficiency, payback and energy conservation. Our marine programme encompasses plate heat exchangers that fulfil any capacity requirement. Our patented Ultra flex design

means that we can closely match precise heat exchanger require-ments with just a few plate designs. Plates are provided in stain-less steel, and titanium as standard, but are also available in other materials. We can also offer frames constructed from aluminium etc. when it is important to keep the weight low.

Quality all the wayAt Tranter we enlist cutting-edge technology in our manu-facturing processes. Raw materials are subject to rigorous quality speci fi cations. Exact measurements and metall urgical analyses are performed in accordance with our Total Quality Management System. Fully-automated plate presses ensure consistent high quality and plate uniformity time after time. After assembly each plate heat exchanger is tested, and the results are incorporated into a data bank. Before packing and shipping, we carry out a final check. Nothing is left to chance!

to work for you!

Plate HEs on-board optimise your thermal system efficiency with less - for less.

When conditions are tough Take your performance to the max

Plate HEs performance at S&T pressuresNow you can obtain the thermal efficiency and compactness of plate heat exchangers in elevated pressure/high and low temp-erature applications with Tranter gasketless, all-welded plate heat exchangers. Until recently, heat exchangers in elevated pressure/temperature of corrosive media applications were of-ten shell & tube (S&T) units. This meant constant tradeoffs in thermal efficiency, material mass and excessive physical foot-print, until recently.

Two complementary lines of Tranter all-welded HEs allow you to take your performance to the max, in less space, and at lower cost than S&T tubular exchangers.

A Tranter plate heat exchanger consists of very few parts and is very compact. The plates have a unique plate design, called Ultraflex, which enables exact matching for any application. Performance adjustments are easily made by adding or removing plates. It is also possible to achieve both symmetrical and asymmetrical flow and full turbulence in each, thus maximizing the heat transfer efficiency and minimizing fouling.

When it comes to service, you will discover how quick and easy it is to dismantle the exchangers for inspection, cleaning and maintenance.

Service and maintenance made easy

A global service networkOur service network of representatives and engineers in Europe, Asia, Australia, Middle East, North & South America will back you up with support and services. They can also train your staff in handling day-to-day maintenance themselves. You will meet experts who can answer any questions that may arise.

Contact us for more information.

Maintenance of plate heat exchangers

Tranter has a global network of service centres that offers quick and reliable maintenance of plate and frame heat exchangers of all brands.

Plates are cleaned by immersion. The washing cycles are carried out according to the type of plate material and the nature of fouling.

These are the conditions in wich you could find your plate heat exchanger without regular maintenance.

At our service centres, Tranter can overhaul your frame and all your frame components if required. Liquid dye penetrant inspection is offered to ensure that the reconditioned plates are free from defects such as cracks and pinholes.

Dirty plates effect heat transfer and reduce the overall performance.

Conventional Plates (GC) The corrugated plates have a gasket along the periphery. There are also gaskets around two of the four ports, which means that only one of the two fluids has access to the heating surface. The next plate

has gaskets around the other two ports. Thus a channel system is created where two fluids pass through every other channel respecti-vely. Leakage between the two fluids is not possible thanks to dou-ble gaskets around the ports. The pressure drop and heat transfer are dependent on factors such as the arrow angle of the plate pat-tern. An obtuse arrow angle (high-theta plate) means high resis-tance and a high thermal driving force. An acute angle (low-theta plate) means a low pressure drop but a lower thermal driving force.

Ultraflex Plates (GX) Our unique, patented Ultraflex plate design features two angles for each plate size. The plates are available with a herringbone pattern with either an acute or obtuse angle, making it possible to achieve six combinations of channels. An obtuse angle (high-theta plate) gives high resistance an acute angle (low-theta plate) and a low pressure drop. This allows our heat exchangers to be optimized for the characteristics of each individual application. If

you have different flow rates in the primary and secondary circu-its, your plate heat exchangers can be designed with asymmetri-cal channels for maximum heat transfer efficiency and economy.

Our unique Ultraflex design allows the two plates to be turned and rotated, giving six combinations of high- and low-theta plate pairs, matching the performance parameters of your application.
